drones and vibrations
This just in:
Holding a vibrator to an acoustic guitar sting creates a sweet array of unholy droning noise. Especially when the vibrator in question is this Hello Kitty vibrator: its plastic head has an irregular topography, which means more ways that it can be productively touched against the guitar.
Speaking of drones, I can't seem to find a good drone music discography on the Web. The FAQ for the DroneOn mailing list has two lists worth examining, one of current practicioners of drone music and one of "ancestors". But because both of these lists stick closely to the rock pantheon, they neglect to mention the many drones created by both composers of "new music" (La Monte Young and Phill Niblock are both conspicuously absent) and electronic musicians (those of you seeking the latter may wish to check out this Needle Drops column).
I am half-tempted to create my own web resource on the topic. I'll put that in the If I Had Limitless Time file.
Further listening: D. Bauler, of The Journal of Speculative Disease, has some "drone sickness" loops available here.
